Sending Flowers is the Best Way to Make Someone’s Day

Making someone else's day feels good. You know you've made someone happy or cheered up a friend or loved one on a tough day. There are many more days to do this in August tied to special days that may inspire you to keep going on this worthwhile effort well past a specific special day. Beyond National Smile Week that we celebrated last week, there are some other special days to add to the calendar. These include Senior Citizen Day on August 21st, Kiss and Make Up Day on August 25th, and Just Because Day on August 27th. This gives you three more opportunities to show others around you that you are thinking of them, especially in times that continue to be challenging or alienating. Even if you cannot spend a lot of time with those around you due to your own hectic schedules or ongoing concern over health issues, you can still plan on calling them, sending a text, or delivering a special gift like flowers to surprise and delight them on these special days. Our San Diego flower shops, including those in El Cajon and La Mesa, and our website are ready to help you surprise those around you with the gift of flowers. This includes our bestsellers collection where you can find a wide range of stunning floral designs that are favorites among our other customers in San Diego. However, we have many other floral options to choose from as well. This includes searching our website by flower type or selecting another category, such as our petite collections or our luxury collection.

August is Romance Awareness Month

Romance never dies, especially if you make it a priority in your life and your relationship. With everything that is going on in work and life, it may seem like quite a challenge to find room for romance. However, the month of August is here to remind you that it's a good time to start now. That's because it's National Romance Awareness Month. Here, in San Diego, there are many ways to celebrate Romance Awareness Month. After all, we live in one of the beautiful cities in the world, and it offers many romantic spots -- from the mountains to the beaches and everywhere in-between. Our San Diego flower shop has some ideas that might help you add more romance into your life and relationship this month and in the future: Picnics for Two With so many beautiful locales throughout San Diego, hire a local picnic company provider, pick up some takeout, or create your own picnic basket and head to a stunning park like Balboa Park or go to one of many beaches like La Jolla Shores Beach. This provides a way to enjoy each other's company and the romantic surroundings. San Diego Bay Cruise San Diego Bay has stunning views. You can rent a boat or reserve a dinner/sunset cruise on the water. If you are not a big boat person, you can also enjoy an incredible meal at one of many restaurants that dot the San Diego bay and inlets. Many have views of downtown San Diego in the background. Nature Calls Take a hike in Torrey Pines State Reserve or visit the nearby mountains for similar hiking trails. If you are more city and less wilderness, even a day at the San Diego Safari Park or Zoo [...]
